Double for Nothing

Film Noir of the Week: The Guilty (1947)

Twin sisters will give you the blues
Or drive you to drown in the booze
Date boyfriends in pairs
Play musical chairs
'Til one takes a permanent snooze.

The Guilty | Martin Teller's Movie Reviews

The former Nancy Drew grows up. Bonita Granville plays twins in The Guilty (John Reinhardt; 1947), a low-budget B based on a novelette by Cornell Woolrich. Here are links to two reviews of this noir murder mystery. The first is at Noir of the Week, the other a less than favorable comparison of film to story at Mystery File

    Identical girls, one is bad.
    But how can an ID be had?
    The vamp's negligee
    Gives her badness away
    While the good girl's more modestly clad.
